After the temple was destroyed in the year 70, many jews fled to the massada fortress and hid there for many years. Lter on, the Romans had found massada and they attacked. The Romans used slaves to build the ramp to get into masssada. The jews inside massada knew they were going to die so they had to decide between being slaves or committing suicide. They ended up committing suicide.
Later on the rabbis started discussing if it was right what they did. Some said that they did the right thing and some people said that they should have stayed alive because of the law "Thou Shall Not Kill."
I, myself, think that they broke the commandment "Thou Shall Not Kill," because they broke the commandment. You should rather go as a slave than break the commandments.
